Even using 2.1-beta-1 I still get: Error assembling WAR: webxml attribute is required (or pre-existing WEB-INF/web.xml if executing in update mode) Is another parmameter needed to turn off "update mode?" I am creating a partial WAR that will be exploded and merged with an existing WAR directory on a Tomcat "appliance." I don't want to take any chance of overwriting the Web.xml file of the target dir. I want to skip the manifest too, but didn't see any options to do that. <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.1-beta-1</version> <configuration> <archive> <addMavenDescriptor>false</addMavenDescriptor> </archive> <archiveClasses>true</archiveClasses> <failonmissingwebxml>false</failonmissingwebxml> </configuration> </plugin> was (Author: smitch...@byteworksinc.com): Is this really fixed?
